Seems sone cgharacters in the bios have been damaged.
 
In variouis places instead of some characters interrogation signs appear.
 
For example in my STYX Bio, my name appears Iv?n Melgar Morey, instead of Iván Melgar Morey like last week, the same happens with all my bios.
 
I seen the same happening in the bios Guigo updated.
 
Tried to fix iyt, but i  keeps comming again, and would be almost impossible to find every bio and modify them, in my case I have more than 200.

It's probably due to the recent implementation of the CACHING FEATURE... I will have a look.

It's not an ALTERED , just a rendering issue. I will fix it.

Thans for reporting.
Prog On !

Whatever it is, I see it's pretty general. Strictly concerning bios, even ones that were added long time ago, now have damaged some letters or simbols.

Plus, I see it on most reviews, on the name of these reviews's authors, etc...

It's quite a general bug.

So far my guess is special letters like é, č, á or even umlauts (ü, ë) are bugged, but I also noticed the apostrophe ' is also bugged (ex: there's, it's etc.)

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Is this going to straighten itself out?I am checking a lot of the bios of my past additions and they are all messed up.Do I have to fix them manually?

I don't think you will have to change them manually Jody.
 
I took Aphrodite's Child bio and copied it to Words (where I do my bios abd reviews to avoid typos). Word recognized the  original commands without having to change them, the system is the one that changes them into interrogarion signs, seems all the apostrophes and accents are altered.
 
Proibably when the cause is fixed, the system will recognize the original commands which are there.
 
Anyway, I have all my bios and reviews backuped. LOL
